while imaccelerating sometimes my rpm suddenly jumps from 2000 rpm to 3000 rpm in a snap without any evidence of power increase or speed and does back to 2000 rpm.whats causing this?

1.sliding tranny?
2. poor tranny oil?

Any suggestions?


-honda accord A/T 1996

 

slippin and sliding baby. Clutch is on it's way out. At least that is what happened to me. I replaced it with and exedy OEM clutch. 125 for the part. 300 for the install.


Ooops, didn't see that yours is A/T. Sorry about that. Glad you're getting it dealt with though.

 

It does sound like a slipping tranny.... make sure your fluid level is full.... unfortunatley it looks like you have an automatic so It may be a bit more expensive then what maro paid....

 

Maro my man , he has an auto tranny ..

it also sounds to me as if the tranny is slipping .. you might want to have a shop properly diagnose it ..

 

Can you tell from the sound whether the jump in RPM is real? Are we talking about a flaky tach signal from the ignitor while the true engine speed isn't really jumping?

 

thanks for the info guys.. well i went to 3 different shops yesterday to have it checked out it's confirmed its ASLIPPING TRANNYso i woke up early this morning to shop for atranny fortunately i got one from the yard. my mech said it would be cheaper to replace than to repair... so they are working on it... let you know thanks!
